Partition and format the hard disk using the Windows XP Setup program\015\012\015\012 loadTOCNode(2, 'moreinformation');\015\012 You can use the Windows XP Setup program to partition and format the hard disk. To do this, use the following steps:\015\012Step 1: Partition the hard disk \015\012\015\012 loadTOCNode(3, 'moreinformation');\015\012 \015\012\015\012

\015\012Insert the Windows XP CD into your CD or DVD drive, or insert the first\015\012Windows XP Setup disk into the floppy disk drive, and then restart the\015\012computer to start the Windows XP Setup program.

Note If\015\012you are using the Windows XP Setup disks, insert each additional disk\015\012when you are prompted, and then press ENTER to continue after you\015\012insert each disk.

\015\012

\011If you are prompted, select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD or DVD drive.

\015\012

\015\012If your hard disk controller requires a third-party original equipment\015\012manufacturer (OEM) driver, press F6 to specify the driver.\015\012For more information about how to use F6 to supply a third-party OEM\015\012device driver while the Windows Setup program is running, click the\015\012following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge\015\012Base:\015\012314859 \015\012 \015\012 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314859/\015\012 )\015\012 \015\012\015\012 Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during Windows XP\015\012\011\011\011\011 Setup\015\012\015\012

\015\012

\011At the Welcome to Setup page, press ENTER.\015\012

Note If you are using the Setup disks (six bootable disks), the setup prompts you to insert the Windows XP CD. \015\012

\015\012

\011Press F8 to accept the Windows XP Licensing Agreement.

\015\012

\011If an existing Windows XP installation is detected, you are prompted to repair it. \015\012To bypass the repair, press ESC.\015\012

\015\012

All existing partitions and non-partitioned spaces\015\012are listed for each physical hard disk. Use the ARROW keys to select an\015\012existing partition, or create a new partition by selecting the\015\012non-partitioned space where you want to create a new partition. You can\015\012also press C to create a new partition using non-partitioned space.

Note If you want to create a partition where one or\015\012more partitions already exist, you must first delete the existing\015\012partition or partitions, and then create the new partition.\015\012You can press D to delete an existing partition, and then press L (or\015\012press ENTER, and then press L if it is the System partition) to confirm\015\012that you want to delete the partition. Repeat this step for each\015\012existing partition that you want to include in the new partition. When\015\012all the partitions are deleted, select the remaining non-partitioned\015\012space, and then press C to create the new partition.\015\012

\015\012

\011To create the partition with the maximum size, press ENTER.\015\012To specify the partition size, type the size in megabytes (MB) for the new partition, and then press ENTER.\015\012

\011Use the ARROW keys to select the partition where you want to install Windows XP, and then press ENTER.

\015\012

\011Select the format option that you want to use to format the partition. You can select from the following options: \015\012

\015\012

Format the partition by using the NTFS file system (Quick)

\015\012

Format the partition by using the FAT file system (Quick)

\015\012

Format the partition by using the NTFS file system

\015\012

Format the partition by using the FAT file system

\015\012

Leave the current file system intact (no changes)

Notes\015\012

\015\012

If the selected partition is a new partition, the option to leave the current file system intact is not available.

\015\012

\011If the selected partition is larger than 32 gigabytes (GB), the FAT file system option is not available.

\015\012

\015\012If the selected partition is larger than 2 GB, the Windows Setup\015\012program uses the FAT32 file system (you must press ENTER to confirm).

\015\012

\011If the partition is smaller than 2 GB, the Windows Setup program uses the FAT16 file system.

\015\012

\015\012If you deleted and created a new System partition, but you are\015\012installing Windows XP on a different partition, you are prompted to\015\012select a file system for both the System and Startup partitions.

\015\012

\011Press ENTER.

\015\012

\015\012After the Windows Setup program formats the partition, follow the\015\012instructions that appear on the screen to install Windows XP. After the\015\012Windows Setup program is finished and you have restarted the computer,\015\012you can use the Disk Management tools in Windows XP to create or format\015\012more partitions.\015\012
